Looks like this is going to be a Scottish creamfields. Same weekend as the (real creamfields) and a teaser poster with David Guetta and Alesso on it! 
 

Exciting times it’s been to long since we had this! 
 

Or it will be like a summer sessions so maybe just one day dance who knows

You'll see shortly but it's certainly not this.

Disappointing we only seem to pander to Rock/indie music and live in the past with music festivals in Scotland DF are so out of touch 

[kingcrawler]

That's surprisingly excellent!

DF have somehow out done themselves been in a serious decline since the end of TITP wtf is that ahaahaha 

[jannybruck]

Think that's pretty good, personally. Certainly nothing surprising or anyone that isn't already on the circuit this summer, but it's quite nicely curated for a relaunched festival.

Yeah I had the fear it was going to be pretty generic and while there's not really anyone on there that isn't usually touring, as a package it's much better than what we usually get up here.

Why oh why is it not camping. Secured a brilliant lineup and then ruined it by it not being a green field location

[Paul ™]

There will be limited camping, probably glamping options.

15k capacity

[the wonderwhy]

That’s the best lineup anyones put out this year so far 

[orangepaterson]

The Sunday lineup is the stuff of dreams. 

[Sam C96]

“Some of the biggest names in the world” 

they must of posted the wrong lineup

It's only glamping options yeah. No general camping 

[kingcrawler]

The pre-pitched camping seems to start at £206 for the weekend for a two man tent, so not exactly cheap. As others have said, I know bigger festivals seem to be moving more towards day events but no decent camping options is the main downside to this.

[Memory Man]

Glamping anywhere is always outrageously priced

By most alternative festival’s estimation i would say the national and chemical bros are some of the biggest acts in the world

theyre not glastonbury headliners, but theyre primavera headliners

who would you want instead? This should attract a decent crowd as theres nothing largely questionable (aka shit) on the lineup which is more than most festivals can say

On reflection, they could have called this all points east scotland, as thats basically what it is.

all points north? 

[DomDom1984]

I appreciate what they're going for with this, and there's definitely some folk that I'd really want to see here, but most of it just isn't for me.

EDIT: To be fair, much of the top end of the Sunday is excellent. If the top three and Idlewild did their own thing, I'd probably have been all over that. That's a great day of music.

Will say that The National day at this looked more of interest than the one they're doing at APE.

[DomDom1984]

One thing I'll add is that I kinda feel the urge to check quite a lot of this out on the ol' Spotify.
